our tx rental – entry and living room

Ok, so here is our new place!  Well… at least for the next 6 months that is.  Our lease will be up in November and we’ll get to move again.  Yippee!!!!  At least it will be into our own place, so that part I am really excited about.
 

 
 
Since we’re only going to be here a few months I’m working with what I’ve already got.  Not that I got real crazy with anything, but it has been fun figuring out new ways to use our old furniture pieces.
 

If you look closely at the photos you’ll see some are hanging sideways and upside down.  I stuck things up there based on size and then haven’t done anything about switching out the photos.  It will probably be one of those things I never get around too 🙂  


 

 
I know I just said I was working with what I already have, but we need a rug in here in THE WORST way.  I can’t put Sam directly down on the floor, and all I can think about is dropping him and cracking his head open.  I ordered this one, but it’s on back order until the middle to end of next month, so it will be a while.  It’s nice and neutral, and I should have no problem finding a home for it in our next house.
 
 
 
This place has several magnolia trees in the yard.  I just love those darn things!  So, I helped myself to some clippings.
 
 
Ok, so this room has the most awkward layout, it drives me freaking nuts.  Every wall it at a different angle.  This was the best furniture arrangement I could come up with. 
 
Oh, and here’s something kinda funny.  Notice the sock wrapped around the top of the fan?  Yep, I don’t know how the owners got it up there, and I’ve got no clue how to get it down.  There are also Nerf darts and little balls stuck in the foyer light.  I can’t get to them, and I’m afraid that if I turn on the light I’ll burn the house down.  That would be my luck.
 

 
So, there she blows!  I’ll post some pics of the master bedroom before too long so I can show you guys the new headboard I ordered before I found out we were moving.  Me likey.

    I can't believe how much you've done, knowing you'll be leaving. That's nuts. Are you house shopping now, or do you have to wait?

      I wish I could help you out Wendy, but I have no clue. The owners don't have any paint cans laying around for me to check either. Sorry!
